I have never had a red female but I had a black female lovebug! She was definitely more stubborn than Sugar until she was about 18 months. Then she was the best girl!! So well behaved.

I found she was more mature than Sugar is at 7 months. He is much more goofy while she was quite serious.

Coco was affectionate on her terms. She would come for it and then leave when she had enough. Sugar loves affection. He sits in my lap and wants to kiss me incessantly. Sugar is silly and all about love.

This could change as he matures but there have been definite differences between them in these first 7 months. I wasn't ready to have another female yet but in the future I wouldn't hesitate.
